Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: help with commands - append date to file Author: phnakarin Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,23912,23916#msg-23916
You should probably use CFE touch => "true" to the file promise, if you'd to touch the file. files: "${testfile}" -> "Some Person", comment => "Make sure ${testfile} exists", create => "true", touch => "true"; Anyhow, in order to use UNIX IO redirection, you have to run the command in shell. A contain body is an answer. commands: "/bin/date >> ${testfile}" comment => "Echo current date to our file", contain => in_shell; ... ... body contain in_shell { useshell => "true"; } Cheers, --Nakarin _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
